When I grow up, I want to be David Mitchell.

Is there such a thing as an ironic inflection!?

Sarcastic tone of voice I'll grant you, I'm not sure about the other though!

The excuse I've always heard is that what's meant is 'I could care less, but it would take effort'. Except that that would involve an emphasis on the could that just isn't there.

I'd accept that as an argument, I've just never heard it!

To be honest, it's not something which bothers me particularly, I just like the way David Mitchell expresses his opinions.

Anyone who whizzes out of the scene and appears on a graph is OK by me.

Yeah, I'm still trying to master that. The most I've managed so far is getting a pie-chart in the face.
